How do you get your game ideas?
Where does your inspiration for new game ideas come from? Is it from your favorite movie or book? It could also be from some real life situations. Maybe a snowball fight gave you an idea that could work out as a great game. Do you simply get ideas that seem to come from nowhere?
I know where I get most of my inspiration and ideas from. Since I was little I have always loved science fiction. It does not matter much if it is stories in movies, books, comics or computer games but I prefer the ones focused on ethical questions we might have to deal with in the future. Stories about artificial intelligence, robots, new technologies, space travel and alien life forms have always caught my attention and nearly all my favorite movies can all be found on the Internet Movie Database top 50 sci-fi movies.
Harrison Ford in Blade Runner (1982)
Even though I am not currently working on any sci-fi related game it is still where the largest amount of my ideas are and I know that someday it will turn into a real game. That or an interactive story set in something that would feel a bit like a game. The important thing is that it is a good sci-fi story that I can be proud of.
